Cincinnati Bengals (Same Ole Bengals)

Joe Burrow: Bengals 'not a championship-level team right now'​

As Burrow reflected on the outcome, one thing was evident: After the fourth loss in five games to start the season, Burrow said it was frustrating that a team that started the year with title aspirations is nowhere close.

"We're not a championship-level team right now," Burrow said. "We're not. I like to think that we'll come back and improve throughout the season to get to that point, but right now we are not and we have to get better."

"I know exactly how we are 1-4," Burrow said. "We're not making plays at the end of the game to go and win it. Definitely not in disbelief. I know exactly what's happening."

Was it a bad snap or a bad hold? Nobody has said ?
Definitely the hold. Right before McPherson got to the ball, the holder finally got it somewhat upright but a kicker can't being seeing that milliseconds before striking it. Evan was probably at the point where he thought they were going to have to bail on the kick and run/throw it in desperation. As already said above, shitty play calls put our kick team in that situation after a gift from God himself on that fumbled snap from Baltimore.

End of the day, losers are going to be losers. I feel bad for Burrow though, he is a competitor and is just shaking his head after the games like what else can I fucking do here guys? Problem is he knows the answer: You can't fix shit coaching and shit defense.

[Goodberry] The Cincinnati Bengals are 1-4 and have been on the wrong side of history in each of those four losses…​


The rest of the tweet:
Week 1 -- In games where the team has 120 or less passing yards, less than 300 TOTAL yards, punts at least 5 times and scores 16 or less points, that team has won only 137 times in 903 games (15.2%). The Patriots won with these numbers against the Bengals.

Week 2 -- In games where the team has less than 150 passing yards, less than 300 TOTAL yards, throws 2 Interceptions and 3+ combined turnovers, that team has won only 53 times in 583 games (9.3%) The Chiefs won with these numbers against the Bengals.

Week 3 -- In games where you throw for 300+ yards, rush for 120+ yards, score 30+ points and don't turn the ball over one time, you win 95.5% of your games (168 - 8 record). The Bengals lost that game to the Commanders.

Week 5 -- When a team scores 38+ points and throws for 370+ yards, they have a 159 - 28 record (85% wins). The Bengals lost that game to the Ravens.

I would like to say that shocks me, but it doesn't. Interesting statistics for sure but it kinda confirms what all Bengals fans know...we will find a way to lose a game despite the odds.

Won the Battle of Ohio. Crushed a few crispy boys. Made Cincy style chili and coney dogs that Skyline would be jealous of. I don't hate Cleveland at all, but I hate our recent record.

Not saying the season is saved, but that was a fun day. Half my guests had no idea what a Cincy coney dog was supposed to taste like, it was fun to see their faces light up.

Ugly win - not sure what has been wrong for the offense after going nuts against the Ravens. They really need it next week to get their first home win.

But in the end, a perfect sports weekend:

--Guardians go down to 2 painful losses
--Bengals over Browns
--Deshaun Cosby era ends as a total failure.
